Moony's Automail Shop

Take me to Wonderland
Moony's Automail Shop

In the the busy streets of the ASB Market place, there is a little shop that does complex modifications on your pokemon that will both strengthen and hinder your pokemon’s abilities. We can replace the limbs and other appendages of poor pokemon that have lost their own during the fierce battles they’ve faced. These modifications range from thin, light weighted materials to thick, heavy weighted ones. We also do repairs for $2 for Light Weights and $3 for Heavy Weights , with the wait of one to two days.

Light Weight Arm: A steel arm that is made out of thin metal, connected to the body’s nerves. This arm is light, giving the wearer a bit more speed than before by +1 as well as a heightened attacking power of +1 for all arm-related attacks. This arm is vulnerable to heavy damaging blows and fire-type attacks. This arm would last about 5 battle before needing repairs.
Price: $6
Wait Period: 1 Day


Light Weight Leg: A steel leg that is made of thin metal, connected to the nerves of the pokemon. The leg is light, giving the pokemon a boosted speed of +1 as well a +1 attack for all leg-related attacks. This leg is vulnerable to heavy damaging blows and fire-type attacks. This leg would last about 5 battles before needing repairs.
Price: $6
Wait Period: 1 day


Light Weight Tail: A replacement tail for the poor pokemon that had theirs removed. The light weight of the tail allows the user to hit the opponent quickly for 2% damage, but the user also has to be careful not to break it. This tail would last 3 battles before it needs to be repaired.
Price: $5
Wait Period: 1 day


Light Weight Face Plate: A thin plate of metal wielded to part of the pokemon’s face, raiseing the pokemon’s defence by +1 for all attacks that involve hitting the face. This face plate is made from fire-proof alloy. This light weight item will last 6 battles before it needs to be repaired.
Price: $4
Wait Period: 1 day


Heavy Weight Arm: Made of thicker, heavier material than the lighter version, this arm boosts arm-related attacks by +3, but do to the heaviness of this arm, the speed of the pokemon is reduced by -3. This arm well last a maximum of 10 battles before repairs are needed.
Price: $7
Wait Period: 2 days


Heavy Weight Leg: Made of thicker, heavier material than the lighter version, this leg boosts leg- related attacks by +3, but do to the heaviness of this leg, the speed of the pokemon is reduced by -3. This leg well last a maximum of 10 battles before repairs are needed.
Price:$7
Wait Period: 2 days


Heavy Weight Tail: This tail is heavier than the lighter version, casuing the speed of the user to lower by -3, but on the bright side the tail will cause 5% damage to the opponent when smashed against them. This tail will last a duration of 10 battles before it needs to be fixed.
Price: $6
Wait Period: 2 days



Specially Section:


After some secret experiments in the back room, aided by her faithful partner Winrychu, Moony has come up with more automail models ready for the shelves. Seeing that there were other Pokemon that may require automail improvements, she created replacement limbs for Flying Pokemon and swimmers.

Aquamail:

Flippers: A fairly light “flipper” made of very thin and water resistance metal that replaces the original flipper of the pokemon (be it from a accident or a morbid reason for wanting replacement). This Aquamail, although thin, gives the pokemon a + 2% damage for all flipper-based attacks (anything that would require the flipper to hit with…like slapping, hitting, punching, whatever). The metal however will give a slight decrease in movement in the water, by a mere -1 speed reduce in water, -2 speed reduce on land.
Price:$6
Wait Period:2 Days


Tail Fin: A fairly light “Tail Fin” made of thin and water resistant metal that replaces the original tail fin of the pokemon (be it from a accident or a morbid reason for wanting replacement). This Aquamail, although thin, gives the pokemon a + 2% damage for all tail-based attacks (anything that would require the tail fin to hit with…like splashing, aqua tail, whatever). The metal, due to the strength that would be gained from the replacement limb, gives the wearer a increase of speed by +1 in water, but a moderate decrease of speed by -2 on land.
Price:$7
Wait Period:2 Days



Aeromail:

Wings: This metal is rather light and specially made with miniature, yet powerful, jets that allow the wearer to still soar in the air like before. This piece gives all wing-based attacks a increase of 2% damage, due to the sharpness of the “feathers” that can slice into the flesh of pokemon. With the light weight of the Aeromail and the small jets in the wings, the speed of the pokemon is increased by +1 in the air. The Aeromail however can be temporarily put of flying commission if hit with a strong electric attack, grounding the pokemon for a period of 2-5 actions.
Price:$7
Wait Period:2 Days


Talons: Made of thick, strong metal, these limbs can replace the legs and feet of flying pokemon. With the strong, sharp talons at the end of the Aeromail, all attacked that involve the talons of the feet will cause 2% when the talons dig into the pokemon’s body. Due to the weight of the pokemon, they have a slight decrease in acending speed by -1, and a increased decent speed of +1. On land, they speed of the pokemon is reduced by -2.

*Note, 'Talons' refers to the legs of birds/flyers with the sharp claw-like parts on the foot area. Basically, this is Bird legs, not just upgrades for Aeromail.

Price: $3
Wait Period:2 Days



Upgrades:


Upgrades are further Improvements on the Automail that can be added each replacement part to help empower them further in battle. These upgrades are more expensive and require a additional day to install into the replacement limb. These improvements can be stacked, but each require a day for each installation


Retractable Claws: The claws on the metal attachments, with this add on, will be able to retract at will, like ordinary claws, due to the nerve impulses connected to the wires of the attachment. Under these new additions, there have been two sub-types of claws created to further help the pokemon in battle.

- Poison Coated Claws: Claws coated in a thick poison. When used, they have a 10% chance of poisoning the opponent. The poison is removed from the claws, only becoming reapplied again when they return to the paw where the poison is stored to coat them again.

Like normal poison, they have no effect on poison and steel types.
Price:$2
Wait Period:2 Days


- Hooked Claws: With these stylized claws, they are designed to stab into the opponent and stay in. When used, they causes 1% extra non-typed damage when ripped out of the opponent.
Price:$2
Wait Period:2 Days



Reversal Surgery:

For those that regretfully wish to reverse the surgery their pokemon went through to acquire replacements, there is now a way to return the original limb to the pokmeon, but this will have a high cost as this will require the DNA of a Ditto and a day’s rest before the pokemon is returned.

*Note. Pokemon that currently have limbs that are in need of repair can not use this function until the replacement is full functioning again. This way, none of you can simply come back with a broken limb in need of repair and just have it removed and have the pokemon “grow back” their limb.

Price:$15
Wait Period: 2 Days

By tomarrow, you will have a Light Weight Leg fitted. Thank you for being my first customer.
 
Certainly. Just come pick it up in a day and you'll be set.

By the way, which arm do you imagine the automail being on. I'm curious.
 
If it we decide we don't want repairs after the set number of battles, do the pokemon's arms grow back? P:

Also, if say, on the first battle, the automail is totally destroyed, is it insured or will the customer have to pay for repairs early?
 
*points* You. Either buy something or stop being a pest. And no, the limb will not grow back.

And the automail will not fall apart until the set number of battles are over. They. Just. Won't.
 
Okaay finally found a little guy to give a metal limb to, so... Replacing King's English the Ralts' right arm with a Lightweight Arm, thank you and please.

EDIT: whoops forgot my profile

ASB Profile

And furthermore may I have a short physical description of how the automail would look, or is it constructed case-by-case for a Poké and thus similar if not identical to their original arm, if a bit on the mechanical side? P:

Can we put a metal limb on a Pokémon that doesn't have limbs? Like i.e. a Light-Weight tail/leg on a Baltoy? Or would the leg count as the little spikey 'foot'.
 
*clears throat*

Alright guys, the shop is under a bit of a Upgrade right now. More things shall be added in a day or so.

Brock: No. If you want a metal arm, the Pokemon have a arm that needs to be replaced. As for the metal 'foot'...uhh...I don't see how that would work...
 
Any chance we could have an automail leg fitted to a legged Pokémon without removing one, or are the ethical issues of drastically altering Yatagarasu the Murkrow's body for purely cosmetic means just too extreme?
 
ATTENTION DUELLIST! MY HAIR SAYS THAT THE SHOP HAS BEEN UPGRADED!

...*cough* Um, yes. The shop has been added to. Have fun with that.
